Blakes of the Hollow recently announced a bottled in bond version of Powers Whiskey, distilled in 1964 at the Old John&#8217;s Lane Distillery, before it closed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: center;padding:10px ;width: 50% !important; height: 50% !important\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskeycompanion.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/JohnLaneBIBBox.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was bottled at 40% in the 80s after ageing (16 years) in cask 4661, but stayed dormant in a screwcap bottle and was sold on that way. There was never a label put on it.<\/p>\n<p>That changes now, with 160 of these bottles being labelled with the old Powers White Label design. They come in at 39.8% ABV, which technically doesn&#8217;t meet the Irish whiskey standard of 40%, but only losing 0.2% after roughly 40 years in a bottle is impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Excited to see how this is received and what else Blakes of the Hollow might be hiding in their cellars!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: center;padding:10px ;width: 50% !important; height: 50% !important\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskeycompanion.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/JohnLaneBIBOpen.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can find me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thewhiskeycompanion\/\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Carl_TWC\">Twitter<\/a>.
